Over the past several decades, a noticeable amount of research efforts has been directed to
minimising injuries and death to people inside a structure that is subjected to an impact …

In the past decades, there has been a constant aspiration for light-weight and highly efficient
energy-absorbing structures and materials in vehicle and other industries. A large number of …

This work aimed to investigate progressive collapse behaviors and mechanisms of the 3D
printed thin-walled composite structures under quasi-static compression and dynamic …

Multi-cell thin-walled structures have proven fairly effective in energy absorption and have
been extensively used in vehicle engineering. However, the effects of multi-cell …

In natural environment, many biological structures are tubular and exhibit excellent
mechanical properties that can reduce self-weight effectively and transport more water and …

Thin-walled hollow structures capable of large plastic deformations are ubiquitously present
in sacrificial, high-capacity energy absorbers. A significant challenge in the field of structural …

This present study investigates experimentally and numerically the crush response and
energy absorption performances of auxetic foam-filled square tubes under quasi-static axial …

We report an experimental study on three new types of tubes inspired by the cross-section
and nodes of bamboo with the aim of improving the crashworthiness of three types of …

In this paper, a class of axisymmetric thin-walled square (ATS) tubes with two types of
geometries (straight and tapered) and two kinds of cross-sections (single-cell and multi-cell) …

In this paper, a novel foam-filled ellipse tube (FET) is proposed and compared with other
hollow and foam-filled tubes with different cross-sections under multiple loading angles …
